Selective Admission Programs

Please refer to your program's checklist and your program’s individual selective admissions webpage. Individual program selective admissions webpages are accessible in the ribbon to the left. Your checklist can be accessed in your SAS account. Steps for how to access your checklist are covered at the mandatory preadmission conference. They are also listed in the FAQ "How Do I Access the Program Checklist"

We can only accept official documents issued from the college or high school/GED® testing agency. For colleges, we must have official college issued documents showing all periods of enrollment. High school transcripts must have a school seal on them and a graduation date. GED® transcripts must show official test scores.

Yes. We must have transcripts from every college you have attended even if you only took one course or your never received credit for the courses you attempted. If transcripts have already been submitted for general admission to KCTCS then you do not need to include second copies of these transcripts in your packet. However, an official transcript will need to be submitted if your most recently submitted transcript does not account for all periods of enrollment. Transcripts from the Kentucky Community and Technical College System do not need to be submitted. 

Students wishing to apply for two programs should submit a packet for both programs but may submit one set of transcripts. The transcripts should be placed in one of the packets with a note in the other packet stating the student's intentions of applying to multiple programs. Both packets should be submitted to the Office of Admissions as complete at the same time. Students are limited to apply for no more than two programs per term.

Once you have created a Selective Admission account and submitted a complete packet you can log in to the Selective Admission System (new window) to check on your account. Your packet will be processed and entered into your account within ten business days of submission. You can view your file status in the file status tab. It will be marked "yes" next to complete if you have everything we need to consider you for the program. Please note that students' statuses will not be updated as "complete" until we have received the final transcript for the current semester.

If your packet is marked as incomplete, please review the comments section at the bottom of your file status tab for additional information and check which items listed as required on your checklist are marked as needed.

Please refer to your prospective program’s checklist and selective admissions webpage for requirements regarding accepted tests, score reporting, and guidelines for how to include scores in your packet if required. You can access the ACT, SAT, and ATI:TEAS results that BCTC already has on file for you by logging into your student self-service, using the search bar to search "test", and clicking the option "view my test scores."

If transcripts have already been submitted for general admission to KCTCS then you do not need to include second copies of these transcripts in your packet. Transcripts from the Kentucky Community and Technical College System do not need to be submitted.

To be processed and considered for a selective admission program you must submit a complete packet with all documents required by the published deadline. To find out what is required to apply for a selective admission program please visit the Selective Admissions program page listed above.

Please contact us at bl-selectiveadmissions@kctcs.edu as soon as possible so we can look into the problem.

Please note that email is the most effective and efficient manner to contact the Office of Admission in regards to any issues or questions concerning your Selective Admission process. Due to FERPA regulations, we may be unable to communicate any information regarding your admission packet or status of admission if we are unable to verify your identity.

If your GPA is below the program s requirements, you will not be able to be processed nor considered for the program.

If your packet/checklist is incomplete when you submit it to the office, it will not be considered for admission unless it is completed prior to the application deadline.

We will update your acceptance status in the Selective Admission System (SAS) once the selection committee has made a decision. An automated email will be sent to the email that you listed on your SAS account to notify you that you need to check your acceptance status (accepted, declined or alternates). You will have one week from the date the decision is posted to log in to your SAS and accept your position or alternate position in the program. After one week has passed, your spot will be given to another student if you were offered a position or alternate position but did not accept within SAS during the one week timeframe.

First, you'll create a Selective Admission System account. Then, you may begin assembling your packet. Print off the program checklist and gather the required documents. Once complete, you will return your packet to one of several locations: 

1. The Office of Admissions, 500 Newtown Pike, The Den - Preferred Location - all packets will be processed from this location.
2. The Lawrenceburg campus
3. The Danville campus
4. The Winchester campus

You can also mail the packet. Please ensure that you have adequate postage. Packages must be postmarked by the published deadline for consideration.

Once you are accepted to the college you may schedule a pre health advising appointment.
